Translation
8–9 The little-one cried: woke up his father.
10–11 He made his mother take the road-of-no-sleep.
12–13 When you sat in the belly of your mother,
14–15 when you were enveloped with the womb, wearing the placenta –
16–18 why [don't you ke]ep silent, once you are out of the quay of labor?
18–19 [I will tr]ead on you like a reed of the path!
20–21 [I will cr]oss over you like (over) the threshold!
